This authentic account of the establishment of the first
rapid-communications system between East and West is packed with
adventure and real-life heroes-Bob Haslam, who rode unharmed
through an ambush of thirty Paiute Indians; Jack Keetley, Warren
Upson, and the most famous rider of all, Buffalo Bill Cody. It is a
rousing chronicle of the Old West, when danger and excitement
marked each galloping trip across the two thousand miles of
mountains, plains, and deserts that separated St. Joseph and San
Francisco.

Tarrasch was the dominant force in European chess in the early
1890's and his ability to win top level tournaments continued via
his huge triumph at Vienna 1898 on to the "World Tournament
Championship" of Ostend 1907. Tarrasch was rightly regarded as the
teacher of generations of European and world Masters, hence his
title Praeceptor Germaniae - the Professor from Germany.
